Google celebrates its 14th birthday with a chocolate cake doodle
Posted on 22:56 by Maria Scott
Google celebrates its 14th birth anniversary with an animated doodle on
its home page. The doodle features a cake with 14 candles, and below
that, portions of a chocolate cake, which together form the word
“Google”.
The doodle
is complimented by 14 candles that tally the number of years that
Google completed. Upon clicking, the doodle directs visitors to the
search engines results page for the word “Google”. Take a look at
today's doodle below:
Google,
now a dominant Internet company, was started as a research project by
Larry Page and Sergey Brin in 1996. The company filed for Inc. on
September 4, 1998 and booked Google.com domain on September 15, 1998.
The company later chose to celebrate its birthday on September 27, most
probably to avoid being too close to the tragic September 11 event.
Google, however, says it's just “whenever they feel like eating cake.”
On its 13th birthday,
Google's doodle featured five letters of the company logo donning
party hats seated around a cake with balloons and gifts around. Check

Over the years, Google has played a pivotal role in changing the way we
use the Internet, making it simple and convenient for us. Its
contributions to the web has been invaluable, and the company has
continuously updated things around. For more read Google's top seven contributions to the Internet.
